Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The primary goal of this special collection is to communicate the latest progress and research results concerning new theories, technologies, methods, equipment and so on, in the field of advanced manufacturing technology, and to explore the updated technological and research trends driving international communications and cooperation with respect to production, education and research in this field. The major topics covered include: Innovation and Experience in Manufacturing Systems and Technologies, Materials Science and Technology in Manufacturing and Administrative Skills in Advanced Manufacturing etc. It thus constitutes a useful and timely guide to the subject.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This collection of peer-reviewed papers contain new research results in the field of advanced mechanical engineering. The object was to bring together researchers, development engineers and users from around the world, and from both industry and academia, in order to share state-of-art ideas for exploring new areas of research and development, and to discuss emerging issues facing advanced mechanical engineering. Workers in the field will welcome this timely coverage of the subject.

Description: The 2010 Annual British Society for Strain Measurement Conference is the seventh in the series on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, and the fifth time that the papers have been presented as a volume in the Applied Mechanics and Materials series.Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The 61 papers making up this volume reflect strikingly the diverse nature of experimental mechanics. The fourteen sessions address various disciplines: e.g. aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering and state-of-the-art technologies such as biomechanics, novel sensors, and composite and cellular materials. The papers were contributed by workers in both academia and industry; with half of the contributions coming from outside of the UK: thus reflecting the international flavour of this event. This volume will be essential reading for all of those interested in the subject.

Description: The objective of this special collection was to provide a outlet for researchers, educators, engineers and government officials, involved in the general areas of Intelligent Manufacturing, Manufacturing Systems and Processes, Modeling and Simulation, to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).During the past decade, digital manufacturing science and technology have experienced very rapid development. These have not only provided industry with new methods, new tools and new digitalized products - which have transformed everything from design, materials processing to operational and management procedures - but are also changing the intercommunications, modes of thought and working environments of everybody in the manufacturing field. Digital manufacturing has brought remarkable and fundamental improvements to manufacturing industry and related research.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This volume presents selected peer-reviewed papers related to diverse aspects of mechanics and materials. Cases related to the flow of fluids under various conditions, as well as heat transfer, are analyzed. There are also contributions, to the field of the design of mechanisms, which focus on biomechanics and the synthesis of mechanisms. Papers on mechanical vibration are linked to the design of machine tools, rotodynamics and vibrations in microbeams. Also, the evaluation of residual stresses and the estimation of the mechanical properties of vegetal materials are treated. Finally, fractal analysis is applied to solar radiation, and to the materials used in nanomedicine.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The papers contained in this volume reflect the diverse nature of the field of Experimental Mechanics. They cover topics ranging from small-scale experimentation to the assessment of full-scale structures. Novel sensing and sensor technology is a major feature, as is the analysis of composite materials. The contributions come from both academia and industry, with over half of the them originating from outside the UK; thus mirroring the international flavour of the event.
